Owen Duffy wasted no time in carving out a great memory from the St. Anthony’s – Chaminade rivalry.
The two Long Island Catholic rivals renewed acquaintances on Tuesday. Sparked by Duffy’s seven-goal outburst, the Friars knocked off the Flyers, 15-11, in the first of three games between the two. The Team 91 Long Island standout, NLFRankings.com’s No. 5 player in the 2023 class, was simply electric, finishing everything in sight in his first game against Chaminade since transferring to St. Anthony’s.
Duke commit and fellow Team 91 star Andrew McAdorey, NLFRankings.com’s No. 1 player in the 2021 class, was also spectacular for St. Anthony’s. He finished with two goals and four assists, while Michael Leo (Syracuse) bagged a hat trick to go with an assist.
NLF No. 7 ’22 and Long Island Express stalwart Charles Balsamo (Duke) put up four points on two goals and two assists to pace the Flyers. Chaminade got a hat trick from Team LI ’22 Jack Flaherty (Navy) and a dozen saves from Express’ Alex Zepf, a Notre Dame commit.
